February 9, 2015
By Sammy Serrano
Director of Scouting-Prep Baseball Report VA/DC
As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.
Team: Miller School of Albemarle
Nickname: Mavericks
Class/Division: Division II
District/Conference: Virginia Independent Conference
Head Coach: Billy Wagner
Twitter Handle: @MS_Abaseball
2014 Overall Record: 17-11
2014 Post-Season Finish: Lost in the State Championship Game
Number of Returning Starters/Position Players: 9
Number of Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8
TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Mike Dailey, RHP/INF, 2015 (VCU)
Jack Morris, OF/RHP, 2015 (Virginia Tech)
Jacob Rich, RHP/OF, 2015 (Radford)
Connor Gillespie, RHP/INF, 2016
Nathon Gentry, RHP/1B, 2017 (Ranked #4 in Virginia and #34 Overall)
Will Wagner, INF, 2017
Other Players of Interest for the Mavericks: Jacob Gavin (OF/P, 2016), Johnny Wood (P/OF, 2016), Bryce Whitehurst (P/1B, 2016), Jackson Barrett (OF, 2017), and Ethan Murray (INF/P, 2018)
OUTLOOK:
Coach Billy Wagner returns nine position players and eight pitchers from a 2014 Miller School squad that finished the season 17-11. Led by seniors, Jack Morris, Mike Dailey, and Jacob Rich, the Mavericks look to use an all-around balanced attack to contend for a State Championship. While talented at the top, the Mavericks roster is full of Division I prospects. Jackson Barrett, Nathon Gentry, Connor Gillespie, and Will Wagner will be huge contributors and should not only be a fun team to watch this year, but in years to come also.
